I understand "color". How do you guys spell "center" (or what do you
say differently than center).

Subject: [kl] English and American
I think what Fred meant was that the English speak English and the
Americans speak American.
Many years ago at University there was a young American woman who was
living in the same block. She was extremely nice, intelligent and
sensible. But she in now way spoke the same language as me - if she was
speaking English then she was killing it. The only way I could stop
screaming at her was to tell myself that she wasn't murdering my
beautiful mother tongue but was simply speaking a different language -
namely American.
Those Americans who don't agree with me had better buy an English
dictionary and learn how to spell!!!!!!! Because color is not an English
word, neither is center.
See what I mean?
Please note nothing that I have said is intended to imply that either
language is better or worse than the other - just to establish that
there is a difference!
